Advanced Settings

The Memberships > Settings > Advanced admin page allows you to control other customization settings for your Paid Memberships Pro site and any Add Ons that add their settings to this page.

From the dashboard, go to Memberships > Settings and select Advanced.

Restrict Dashboard Access

• WordPress Dashboard: Choose whether to block all users with the Subscriber role from accessing the Dashboard.
• WordPress Toolbar: Choose to hide the Toolbar from all users with the Subscriber role.

Message Settings

If you had previously customized your messages, you can continue to edit them in Advanced Settings. You can also choose to start using the smart message to ensure your site is compatible with other Add Ons and optimized for conversions. Learn more about the legacy settings for protected content messages here.

Content Settings

• Filter searches and archives? Optionally hide members-only content, including PMPro pages, from appearing in archive views (category, tag, author, etc.) or in search results. This ensures that restricted content remains exclusive to members.
• Show Excerpts to Non-Members? Select whether to show or hide excerpts to logged out visitors or non-members. It’s a good idea to show excerpts on member pages as a teaser for new members to sign up and keep reading or for SEO to index a portion of your content.

Business Settings

• Enter your business name and address to show business information to members on the Membership Orders page and Orders in the print view.

Communication Settings

• Notifications: Notifications are occasionally shown on the Paid Memberships Pro settings pages. You can set this to show all notifications or only security notifications.
• Activity Email Frequency: Specify how often you would like to receive sales and revenue updates from this site to the administration email address. Read more about the Admin Activity Email here.

Other Settings

• Hide Ads From Members? If you are running ads on your site, you can hide them for members (note that this requires additional configuration). Read more about hiding advertising from members here.
• Require Terms of Service on signups? Choose whether of not you would like new members to agree to Terms of Service at signup/checkout. If you would like members to agree, create a WordPress page containing your TOS agreement and assign the page using the dropdown. Read more about creating a TOS agreement.
• Enable Tracking: When toggled to allow, non-sensitive membership site data will be shared to help us analyze how our plugin is meeting your needs and identify opportunities to improve. Read our Usage Tracking Policy here. You can toggle to not allow tracking.
• Uninstall PMPro on deletion? Choose whether deleting the Paid Memberships Pro plugin will also delete all database tables used by the plugin. Deleting all data will also cancel all memberships and active subscriptions at the connected gateway.
• Note: Any settings added by other plugins will be added here.
